The mountains may end, but the wonder doesn’t.
Travel through mountains, forests, rivers, and shores in The Eastern Mountains, the fifth adventure in the Beyond the Mountains and Seas series. Inspired by the Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas), this beautifully illustrated children’s book introduces 28 mythical creatures from ancient China, each with its own surprising appearance, abilities, sounds, or story.
Discover magical fish with unexpected voices, clever beasts with unusual tricks, fantastic birds, mysterious animals, and mighty mountain guardians. Through engaging, child-friendly storytelling, Name Detective helps young readers decode memorable creature names, while Wonder Together, Let’s Think, and Culture Connection prompts invite families and classrooms to explore animals, nature, problem-solving, history, and culture together.
Perfect for curious readers ages 6–9 who love mythical creatures, fantasy, unusual animals, and world mythology, The Eastern Mountains brings the imagination and cultural heritage of an ancient Chinese classic to life for a new generation.
The final mountain is only the beginning of what you’ll imagine next.
